Virginia Employment Commission Dislocated Worker Program
The Virginia Workforce Development Center, formerly known as the Virginia Employment Commission, offers financial assistance for job training for individuals who have been terminated or laid off from a job due to no fault of their own — permanent plant closures; and displaced homemakers. See if you qualify.
Veterans Affairs
Veterans may be eligible to return to school by using the GI Bill. Some veterans have found that after leaving the military, they need new skills to obtain a good job. More Information.
Trade Act
Several area plants have closed, and foreign countries are manufacturing the products. The Trade Act offers assistance to these laid-off workers to learn a new skill. This program is through the Virginia Workforce Development. More Information. |
